Inflation is not down. You see, inflation is like a pool. More inflation = bigger pool. So even if the rate of inflation decreases from month to month, you're still left with the previous size pool plus whatever change happened this month. In fact, under this administration inflation has continued to accrue. Even though the monthly changes have dropped every so slightly from the last 6 months of 2024 (average of 2.7% per month) to 2025 (2.63% per month), you're still looking at inflation INCREASING by 10.5 points over that oh so awful last administration's economy. So if you were complaining about prices and inflation with the blue guy in office, why do you think things are better when your guy is in office? I realize the president is saying gas is below $2 a gallon and egg prices are down 93-94%. Do you believe that? Are you seeing that? Are you aware that nobody can come up with numbers to substantiate these claims? What are your thoughts on that?

Trade deals are being struck. Neat. Are these good trade deals or bad trade deals? Because if you look at the stock market, the investors sure don't seem impressed. By the way, those "new trade deals" also include tearing up the trade deals Trump made, called USMCA to replace NAFTA, which he described as "The USMCA is the largest, fairest, most balanced, and modern trade agreement ever achieved. There’s never been anything like it." But it turns out it was a bad deal that needed to be replaced. So do you believe that this is a good deal too? Also, are we talking about the trade deals he enacted, then suspended. Why did that happen? What did we get from the stop and go strategy?


The last thing we need is for voters to be less informed. Burying your head in the sand won't help.
